Vega City.

A very ordinary day, with a very ordinary start. For the citizens of Vega City, the beginning of each day during this period is somewhat similar - checking the mailbox.

The New Year is just around the corner, and for a city like Vega with a large expatriate population, receiving New Year's greetings and gifts from friends and family in other regions is a great way to start the day.

But there are exceptions, for some special families -

The woman spotted the girl leaning on the window and looking out. While calmly handing over the toothbrush that had squeezed the toothpaste, he said without a tone, "Are you still dreaming, you don't have Mommy and Dad." ”

"No!" the girl turned her head and glared at the woman. We should all know that children are not good at controlling their facial expressions, or at other things, they are too good at making exaggerated expressions. So, the girl, who looked like she was only four or five years old, looked like a broken doll, and her face was twisted, "I've got Mommy! I've got Dadby! They've just gone far away!!"

"And that far away place is called death. The woman still had no expression, because the girl didn't take the toothbrush, and the toothbrush was put aside, "And then the one who died, he won't come back and won't give you a gift." So, stop dreaming, you won't have to receive their gifts this year. ”

The woman turned and went to the kitchen, where she was going to make breakfast.

Breakfast. It's a bloody piece of meat. This is for the woman herself, and she licked her bright red fingers and pouted dissatisfied. Then wash your hands and prepare the girl's breakfast. Much more normal, milk, pancakes, eggs, greens......

"I don't like greens. The girl was at the kitchen door, toothbrush in her mouth, complaining.

The woman glanced back, "You don't like going to kindergarten either." Pick one, I can only tolerate one. "Uh......

"Then I eat vegetables and don't go to kindergarten. ”

"Deal. The woman tilted her head, "Then call Pipsqueak later and let him take care of you." ”

"I don't like Pippi!!he's stinky!"

The woman pouted, "You know the rules, pick one." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, with a toothbrush in her mouth, and tilted her head, "I...... Don't Pippi, I'll go to kindergarten?"

"Deal. The woman shrugged her shoulders and smiled, but quickly put it away, put it on a plate with eggs and greens, and put it on the table, "Gift, what do you want?" "I also sat at the table and cut the meat that I was not very satisfied with.

"Mommy and Daddy. ”

"Nope. The woman replied dryly.

"Why?!" the child's expression control collapsed again.

"Because when a person dies, it doesn't exist. They don't exist anymore. The woman seemed a little speechless, it seemed that such a conversation had happened many times, and she had already explained impatiently.

"No!no!!"

"Uh, stop screaming. The woman frowned. Do you know how sharp the voice of a girl is at four or five years old, so ......

"No!!no————"

"Okay, good!" the woman, giving up, glanced at the girl, left the dining table, went to the bedroom to get something and came out again, and then handed a few lists full of names and contact information to the girl, "Here is the contact information of all the souls of the alien race that are still alive in Vega City, do you want your mommy and dad to find them one by one!?"

The girl blinked, threw away her toothbrush, and ran to the living room with the paper in her hand, and the phone was in the living room.

The woman shook her head helplessly and continued to cut the food she was not very satisfied with.

The girl's voice could already be heard in the living room, "Are you my mommy?"

“......”

"Are you my dad, then?"

“......”

Don't complain about the way girls are, humans at this age are literate? No, only numbers.

So, this kind of thing will not come to fruition. The woman listened for a while, with little emotion other than the occasional shake of her head.

The woman finished her breakfast, went to the study again, stuffed some documents into her briefcase, came out, looked at the girl who was still on the phone, and packed the green vegetables on the table, "You're going to be late." Get dressed quickly, you can keep looking when you get back. ”

The girl looked back at the woman and did as she was aggrieved.

The woman seemed to be a very normal working woman, and she had everything ready before waiting for the girl to finish dressing, carrying her briefcase in one hand and the girl's backpack in the other, "Tick tock, I'll call Pippi if I'm late!" the woman urged.

There is no effect. At least not immediately. The woman pouted and went out the door first, walking to the garage......

The silver glow, unlike the natural sunlight, enveloped the woman the moment the garage opened.

The woman only had time to complete a gesture of raising her hand, and she had completely lost her center of gravity, and her whole body was tightly and restrained by the spikes, and then she was pulled into the garage under the irresistible pull.

Bang!

The garage door is closed.

The girl finished dressing up and returned to the restaurant, looking at the empty table, there was an instant of joy on her face - the greens, gone~

But immediately, the girl's face turned aggrieved, for she saw the open front door, and she knew that the woman must be waiting for her outside, and her breakfast must be in the other person's hand.

The girl walked out the front door, "Lily?" The girl saw the backpack in front of the garage and moved over in confusion. There was a less noticeable red scattered around, and a faint mark extending into the garage.

The girl lifted her bag and stood in front of the garage, "Lily, I'm going to be late." ”

The girl blinked, "If I hadn't missed the time, I wouldn't have called Pipsqueak." ”

The girl pursed her lips and tentatively tugged at the garage shutter door. Motionless.

"Lily. Lily. ”

The door opened.

In the girl's eyes, two giant-like men stepped out and wiped their hands, "Lily is dead." ”

The girl tried to go into the garage, but was pushed away, "Who are you?"

The two men didn't seem ready to answer, so they closed the garage door, looked around, and left the driveway.

"Where's Lily?!" uncontrollable facial expressions, "You're strangers! Lily said I'd call the police if a stranger came to our house!Tell me where Lily is, or I'll call the police!"

A man turned around with a look that seemed to want to laugh, "Oh, you can try, little girl." ”

The other man pulled the man who was talking, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go!"

"Lily!!" the little girl of this age shouted sharply.

The two men quickened the pace of leaving.

"Lily!!" screams continue, continue, continue......

"Alright! stop screaming!" the woman appeared, shrouded in blood after opening the garage door, "I'm here!"

"Lily!" the girl ran to the person she was shouting for, but ...... He stopped when he was a step away, covering his nose, "You stink!

"Uh, because I'm the same thing as Pippi......" the woman raised her hand, rib on one side...... "Uh, I need food, and a change of clothes." "Dragging crooked legs, head home.

The girl hung behind the woman, keeping her nose covered, "I'm going to be late!"

"I know. The woman waved her hand.

"It's not my fault, so you have to apologize to the teacher, I don't want Pippi to come!"

"I know. The woman waved her hand again.

Entered the house. The girl was silent for a moment, watching the woman drag the blood into the kitchen and into the bathroom......

"Those two strangers said you were dead, but you came back. ”

The woman's helpless voice, accompanied by the sound of water, "I don't have ......"

"You're lying to me! I'm dead, I can come back!"

"Ugh. ”
